SCOPE

The Semantic Web is a key initiative being promoted by the World

Wide Web Consortium (W3C) as the next generation of the current

web. The objective of this workshop is to discuss commercial

applications that make immediate advances and to gain insight

into the evolution of semantic web technology. Early commercial

applications that make use of machine-understandable metadata

range from information retrieval to Web-enabling of old-tech IBM

3270 sessions. Current developments include metadata-based

Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) systems, data modeling

solutions, and wireless applications.

Machine-understandable metadata is emerging as a new foundation

for component-based approaches to application development. Within

the context of reusable distributed components, Web services

represent the latest architectural advancement. RDF Servers enable

these two concepts to be synthesized providing powerful new

mechanisms for quickly modeling, creating and deploying complex

applications that readily adapt to real world needs. At the same

time, we welcome submissions that describe applications which are

trying to achieve the above goal through the use of other

specifications such as WSDL, UDDI, SOAP, ebXML, XML, possibly in

conjunction with transformation languages such as XSLT, RuleML, etc.

We invite submissions that discuss real applications (piloted,

deployed, robust prototypes) attacking real world problems in the

Semantic Web arena today instead of the future. This potentially

means very pragmatic decisions (e.g., executable agents that run in

the context of graph-based application models) caused by the

limitations of today's technology (e.g., are there robust/scalable

RDF parsers, stores, and inference engines?). Submissions that also

address issues related to the business aspects, e.g., is there a

market ?, is there a sustainable value proposition ?, what is the

business model, etc., will receive special consideration.

TOPICS

- Applications (prototypes, pilots, deployed) based on the RDF Model

and Semantics

- Semantic Web applications (prototypes, pilots, deployed) based on

XML and various variants

- Web Services based applications (prototypes, pilots, deployed)

based on WSDL, SOAP, UDDI, ebXML and other related standards

- Enterprise Application and Data Integration, and the Semantic Web

- E-Commerce and the Semantic Web

- Implementations of Semantic Web applications on component models

such as J2EE and .NET

- Model driven approaches for Semantic Web Applications

- Architectures for Semantic Web Applications (distributed objects,

agents)

- Scalability, Extensibility and Robustness of Semantic Web

Applications

- Information accuracy of Semantic Web Applications (e.g., precision,

recall, classification accuracy)

- Tools for creating Semantic Web components (ontologies, mappings, etc.)

- Tools for creating Web Services

- Return on Investment for Semantic Web Applications

- Sustainable Business Models for Semantic Web Applications

- Integrated Application Development environments for the Semantic Web

...and other aspects of realizing the vision of the Semantic Web!
